      Does Fedex descriinate on age, because age discrimination in real in the regular work force and one would never think it can start as young as age 40 much less be close to age 50.. Do you know about this?

    FedEx Freight road driver here. Overall good info to spread, but new drivers should keep in mind that it can take some time to get to that $100k level. $60k is a more realistic first year goal. Also, the July 24 check was so big because it included our bi-annual bonus.

    Alex, they just added a position like this in my area. I just applied. Looking to leave my toxic work environment and move onto a job where I do not have to rely on others, I can be self sustaining. It's for a city driver, but I will push for a road driver position. Alex, bro, thank you so much for your channel, and that of the people that have helped make this show what it is. This is gold for a new driver try to cut his teeth in the industry, or even for a seasoned vet who is unhappy with his current position. I'm 42, have been my employer for 16 years, it has gotten so toxic, I hate going to work. But I have two people to thank for this step, yourself sir, and TruckingWithTay. Both of you have made me realize I can take the leap of faith and start over. I have been so scared to start over at this age, but you guys have made me realize, life is short, if you are not happy, do your research, apply, and make your life better. Thank you bro. I'll follow up to let you know how everything goes with Fed Ex Freight.

    I got in as a part time dock worker then bumped up to full-time dock worker but I'm in a smaller center but good because we're connected to three large hubs and run a pogo meet. South east Alabama. After two years hard work on the dock has landed me a driver apprenticeship for road driving our drivers are seniority based but even extra board drivers run every night and have plenty of opportunities to make as much money or more. They bump your pay per mile every year and when someone higher up quits or retires you move further up. I'm lucky because our center has several drives about to retire and I'll be in a good spot in just a few years.

I get paid .75 cents a mile, and $33 hourly when I work the dock. I had ZERO experience when I got hired. Pretty good deal if you ask me!

    I got my CDL through FedEx freight one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I was a part time dock worker before I started driving school.. for me it was a 3 week class then I went and took my state test and passed then did another week after that for my doubles. I've worked a lot of dead end jobs in the past and this is definitely not a job but a career full of opportunities. You can make a lot of money for a little work.. you get paid for fuels, drops, hooks, tractor only, tractor switches really the only thing you don't get paid for is filling up on Def but even then that's probably calculated in your fuels. Your pay is based on where your terminal is located. If you have FedEx freight as an option I would definitely think hard about it!

Starting pay was around .54/mile, but with these pay-stubs posted here, I'm guessing there's actual raises put in place after not too long.

    I'm a dock-worker at FXF since 2017. Just got my CLP and starting the DDC in a couple of weeks. Wish I had done it years ago, but am so glad to have the opportunity now. FXF is, comparatively speaking, a great company to work for. The benefits are second to none, at least the best I've seen. (And I've seen about 20 different companies). We have so many drivers that have been there 10, 20, 30 and even 35 plus years, it really speaks volumes to me about how good the company is. Every other one I've worked for is a revolving door. I know they exist for stockholders and profits, but they seem to be doing it as well as it can be done in our greedy capitalistic model. At 43, I can appreciate all these things I didn't even see in my youth.

    This is true....I work there also, the senior guys make that much driving on the road everyday with most likely a 600 mile run. Someone like me, only getting a 300 mile run a night, you can net around $1100 with working the dock. You can make way more running these low miles buuuut you will have to work a lot of hours on the dock (forklift work). I know a guy at my same terminal that gross over $2200 a week but works a lot of hours on the dock and run the same run I run. I’ve came to the realization that the senior guys that’s able to retire, most of them aren’t going to right away because the run is just so easy to do and the money is so easy to make, and they plan to work until they can’t anymore. Ive been with the company for almost 8 years.
